It depends what you’re comparing against. Down relative to the very recent surge? Sure. If you zoom out on that chart you’ll see they’re still 2-4x more expensive than they were in the early 2020s.

They are beneath when Trump took office. I think that qualifies to say that he has vrought the price down.

Still a fashist asshole, just to make that clear. But I like to stick to facts in my criticism.

Even if manufacturers brought jobs back from overseas, who the fuck is going to do them? We already have a labor shortage coming as the boomers are hitting peak retirement and the commander in queef won’t let anyone in without money.

Let’s not forget the very real fact that exports are a major part of demand. Imports are a big part of supply. It’s econ 101. Tarrifs disrupt both. It’s… Not a good idea, ever.

It isn’t rocket science. Its so dull and dumb it was literally the background to Ben Stein’s “Anyone… Anyone…?” Bit from Ferris Bullers Day Off.

How is a “labor shortage” a bad thing? You can ask for more pay if there’s not many people who could do the job.

Labor shortage is just code speak for we don’t want to train people or pay the appropriate wage.

What the oligarchs want is slaves, not empowered workers who know their worth.

The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper that once called NYC bike rentals (setup by CitiBank, no less) authoritarian communism. The editor who made that particular mental bowel movement, Dorothy Rabinowitz, still works there.

Trump is too dumb for them.

CEOs were “reluctant to say anything publicly,” and were waiting until the market dropped 20 percent before they would go on record saying anything critical about the president.

At that point the horse has truly bolted my dudes. The only plus is that I enjoy the idea of these greedy fucks squirming as everything they ever wanted blows up in their faces.

This has the same energy as a 10 year old telling their parent at 10pm that they need help making a presentation that’s due tomorrow morning.

I thought CEOs were supposed to be in charge, not act like socially awkward high schoolers.

Most CEOs aren’t actually good at doing things, they got where they are because they’re rich and charismatic for the most part, not because they are good at doing things.

My ceo recently declared chapter 11 bankruptcy for us. It’s his third bankruptcy. What the fuck other job can you fail at so terribly, so publicly, and then you just get another job to do it again

My kid did that in middle school. Dad I forgot to tell you we’re supposed to dress up tomorrow in school and I really really want to be Marshmello.

“The Globalist Wall Street Journal has no idea what they are doing or saying. They are owned by the polluted thinking of the European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of ‘screwing’ the United States of America,” Trump raged in a post on Truth Social.

They’re owned by Rupert Murdoch

He also hates the EU and influenced so many people to achieve his goal with the Brexit.

Trump is just a fake lying rat
